Did you know?
- While actualización is used for a 'weekly update' in software, a person giving a verbal update in a meeting might use the phrase poner al día, which literally means 'to put to the day'.
- Although it looks like the English word 'actualization', actualización almost always refers to making something current rather than making something real.
- The suffix '-al' in semanal is a direct descendant of the Latin '-ālis', which is also the ancestor of many English adjectives like 'annual' or 'final'.
